Bug#280209: ITP: codeville -- More anarchic revision control system



> * Package name    : codeville
>   Version         : 0.1.9
>   Upstream Author : Ross Cohen <rcohen@snurgle.removeme.org>
> * URL             : http://www.codeville.org
> * License         : Open Software License 2.0
>   Description     : More anarchic revision control system
> 
> Codeville is a new version control system. 
> 
> All other version control systems require that you keep careful track
> of the relationships between branches so as not have to repeatedly
> merge the same conflicts. Codeville is much more anarchic. It allows
> you to update from or commit to any repository at any time with no
> unnecessary re-merges.
> 
> Codeville works by creating an identifier for each change which is
> done, and remembering the list of all changes which have been applied
> to each file and the last change which modified each line in each
> file. When there's a conflict, it checks to see if one of the two
> sides has already been applied to the other one, and if so makes the
> other side win automatically. When there's an actual not automatically
> mergeable version conflict, Codeville behaves in almost exactly the
> same way as CVS.

From the description, it sounds a lot like Subversion.  How does
Codeville improve upon Subversion?

This is not a challenge; it is just a question.  Please copy your reply
to me.  Good luck with Codeville.  It sounds like a good package.
